Morning, Sunshine.

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Tue Jul 07, 2009 7:05 pm

Tink was fiddling with her favourite guitar, the tiny instrument perfectly tuned and the sound emitting from a standard size amp. It was a plain black electric she had inherited from a Barbie and one of her brothers had modified - it maybe didn't have the sharp sound that some of her more recent acquisitions had due to technological advances but it sang pure and true.

This morning, trying to block out some of her more consuming thoughts, she was running through some of the more famous human guitarists. Joe Satriani echoed out of the amp as she closed her eyes, letting her fingers walk by themselves.

"Very nice, as usual," Will said, after listening in for a while, by way of introduction.

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Tue Jul 07, 2009 7:15 pm

"Hey there Big Green! How are you this morning?" Tink raised a hand in salute.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jul 07, 2009 7:17 pm

"I. Am in a fantastic mood," he says, moving over to sit by his miniature guitar friend.

"I wanted to thank you again for the thing. I know we kinda got distracted and shooed you off right afterwords..."

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Tue Jul 07, 2009 7:26 pm

"I'm sorry Will. If I had of realised that you guys weren't.. I am a bitch but I'm not that much of a bitch.." Tink shrugged.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jul 07, 2009 8:11 pm

"No, no, don't feel bad. It's...it led to a long talk. One we needed, I think, and one that I'm glad we had. It really does mean a lot to me."

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Tue Jul 07, 2009 8:20 pm

Tink beamed happily.

"So you two sorted everything out then? Come to some sort of resolution all with the help of Yours Truly, eh? Maybe I should have my own talk show!"

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jul 07, 2009 8:23 pm

"Heh, I guess you could say that. We're taking it one step at a time--and it would never have come up if it wasn't for you and your gift."

A pause.

"It's an interesting book, for sure..."

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Tue Jul 07, 2009 9:31 pm

"It is. I think the best bit of advice from those pages is 'never listen to anyone who calls himself an expert' especially when it comes to these sorts of relationships." Tink started to pluck the strings of her guitar unconciously.

"I don't think many people know that I am majoring in Psychology."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jul 07, 2009 10:13 pm

"Really? You're good at it, I'd say--you pegged us before we pegged ourselves."

Will pauses.

"OK, thinking, then talking, yes."

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Tue Jul 07, 2009 10:20 pm

Tink chuckled.

"The most natural dynamics are usually the right ones, don't go trying to label things to much because that's where the trouble starts. You guys are just good together."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jul 07, 2009 10:23 pm

Will smiled. "Well, I've gotta thank you, though Sara might not like me doing so in 'public'," he grinned. "We're giving it a try--though we're leaving, uh, the neckwear, off."

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Tue Jul 07, 2009 10:26 pm

"Good for you! Although the transition from natural roles to conscious acts won't be an easy change to make. Whatever you do don't try to force it.." Tink smiled, genuinely happy for her friends.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jul 07, 2009 10:27 pm

"That's the tricky bit," he smiled. "But, you know, practice makes perfect and all that," he smiled.

"And did I hear right with you and the Lovin' Machine?"

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Tue Jul 07, 2009 10:29 pm

Tink's brow furrowed slightly.

"You mean Cal?" Her tone was peevish.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jul 07, 2009 10:30 pm

"Yeah. Are you two really together? That's great news--he's always seemed like a nice guy, if a little wild--right up your ally, yes?"

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Tue Jul 07, 2009 10:38 pm

"We are.. something." Tink averted her eyes to her guitar and started to needlessly retune it.

"He has other girlfriends, I think. He likes me though... I'm just.."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jul 07, 2009 10:40 pm

"You like him. Fight for him, Tink.

I know I got a bad start to knowing him, what with Jess and later the video and the big fight and all, but he seems a fairly classy guy. If there's anything I can help with, lemme know..."

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Tue Jul 07, 2009 10:50 pm

"Actually I was thinking of writing a song for him, a kinda love song thing.. big power ballad number.."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jul 07, 2009 10:56 pm

"Ahhh! That's a good one--drag him out to one of the shows. I suppose I could cut out the 'I love Sara' montage to three songs," he said, scratching his chin.

"No, seriously, that's a great idea."

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Tue Jul 07, 2009 10:58 pm

"....I was joking." Tink raised an eyebrow at Will.

"You're really playing stuff for her? Like wooing and stuff?"

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Jul 07, 2009 11:02 pm

"Every now and then I work out a number for her--no original stuff, just some stuff. Yesterday, she made me sing for her as part of the thing, and it was nice. Heck, I sang for her when I was stuck in her head--she gave me control of the vocal chords, which was kinda weird but nice.

As for the shows, well, I may slide in "All She Wants to Do is Rock" as a number now and again," he grinned. "Or 'I Melt with You'".

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Tue Jul 07, 2009 11:59 pm

"I'm almost 100% certain that Cal would think that was douchey." Tink sighed.

"He's kind of complex, in a good way."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 08, 2009 12:01 am

"Hrm....

I'm afraid I don't know as much about Cal as I should. Or, rather, I DO know a bit about him, but it's all rumor and scandal and MPEGs... what kind of a guy is he?"

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Wed Jul 08, 2009 12:23 am

"He's broken inside." Tink smiled fondly.

"He's funny, sweet and can beat six shades of shit out of anyone. Seriously though, he's a good guy who's copped some bad press - its not like anyone thought to ask him before they accused him of any of that stuff. I can't blame him for feeling violated - you all cried out when Ayami was mind-raped or when Sara M was fucking with your head - someone did that to Cal first, took all of his moments and posted them online..."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 08, 2009 1:13 am

"I know--I think we all over reacted, but, in our defense, we had a new guy we didn't really know claiming he didn't do anything with no evidence that anyone had anything to do with it. Now, of course, we know better. I hope no one's still giving him shit about that, he doesn't deserve it. He's only human, like the rest of us.

Poor guy--I got on him for low head security, and look what happened to m...wait, is the Sara M thing public knowledge?"

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Wed Jul 08, 2009 1:34 am

"After the lunchtime smackdown? Yeah a little. Though not the details of it."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 08, 2009 1:37 am

"Yeah. Eeesh.

Anyway, back to Cal," he said, quickly changing the subject and hoping Tink wouldn't notice, "he'd find a song sappy? What if it wasn't a love song, per se, but more of a punky-ode?"

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Wed Jul 08, 2009 1:44 am

"You mean like Blitzkrieg or something?" Tink chewed the thought over, thinking abotu music and Cal made her think of their date and she started to chuckle.

"... we went to this club the other night and started a riot.."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 08, 2009 1:45 am

"See, this sounds like the perfect guy for you. I would bet all the money in my pockets you either urged him on or it was your idea in the first place," he smiled.

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Wed Jul 08, 2009 6:57 am

"I would resent that implication if it wasn't entirely true.. " Tink smirked.

"Though I don't exactly think it was Cal's first stouche anyways.

Do you think that you and Sara will be okay?"

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 08, 2009 6:59 am

Will nods, slowly. "Yeah. I mean, we could screw things up still, but we....I'm not sure we're capable of making the other unhappy.

Except for when I pulled my arm off to make a point."

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Wed Jul 08, 2009 7:01 am

"You what! No, see, okay that is something that I definitely did not hear about.. " Tink flits closer to inspect his arms.

"Which one?"

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 08, 2009 7:03 am

"The right. You won't find it here, I think Sara autoclaved it and ended up tossing it out," he said, rolling up his sleeve so Tink could check the arm out.

"Came about when we were fighting after the other Sara...well, do you know what she did?"

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Wed Jul 08, 2009 7:11 am

"Why didn't you just reattach it? Or get a cyber arm like Cal? Or eat it.. cause that would helpp with your mass or something?" Tink offered helpfully.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 08, 2009 7:13 am

"Unfortunately, it was still flesh and not clay," he said shifting just his right arm into his true clay-like substance--this'll be the first time Tink has seen him do that.

"No point in getting a cyber arm when I can grow one back, and eat it? Ewwwww."

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Wed Jul 08, 2009 7:16 am

"So it hurt right? Like I mean, really hurt..." Tink poked the clay arm stuff.

"Does this goop hurt? Dude, she ripped your arm off.. thats hardcore."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 08, 2009 7:18 am

Tink's hand would, at the very least, leave a palm print in Will's arm, and if she used enough pressure, would sink in slightly.

"Nah, didn't hurt--I was expecting it. Anyway, I'm the one who ripped it off, not her."

by **Trinity Cleaver** » Wed Jul 08, 2009 7:26 am

"Fuck me Will Stanton! Thats like plus an infinity in hardcore cool points. Seriously." Tink exclaimed her eyes wide and her mouth foul. Her face grew thoughtful for a moment.

"Though it didn't hurt so maybe they should be showmanship points.. unless it was proving your devotion or something sappy..."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Jul 08, 2009 7:29 am

"Well, it was kinda sore," Will laughed.

"No, uh, I was kinda trying to show that I wasn't human. We were having this fight after the whole flipped brain thing, y'know, and I just kinda went yank."
